Benjamin Cunningham and the defendants. The judgment dismissed the case, entered judgment for the defendants, closed the case, and denied Cunningham permission to appeal without paying filing fees.
What happened
In Cunningham v. Port Authority Agency of New Jersey State and New York State, the court dismissed Benjamin Cunningham’s case based on reasons given in an earlier order dated September 28, 2022.
The judgment states that an appeal would not be taken in good faith, so Cunningham was denied permission to proceed without paying fees for an appeal. The court entered judgment for the defendants and closed the case.
Judge Jesse Furman was the judge identified for this case, although the judgment itself was signed by the court clerk, Ruby J. Krajick.

Disposition
The court dismissed the case for the reasons stated in its September 28, 2022 Order. The judgment does not include the reasons from that earlier order, so the basis for dismissal cannot be determined from this text alone.
The court certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal would not be taken in good faith. It therefore denied permission to appeal without paying the required filing fees. Judgment was entered in favor of the defendants, and the case was closed.
Uncertainty
The judgment identifies Jesse Furman as the judge through the supplied case information, but the document itself is signed by Clerk of Court Ruby J. Krajick. The opinion text does not state whether the dismissal was with or without prejudice.
